Whether it’s glittery, shiny, or absolutely terrible, every festive outfit helps fund our important care for those who need it most in our community.
✨ How it works:
- Pick your favourite festive jumper, scarf, hat, t-shirt, costume or even socks
- Bring £2 to school or your workplace on the designated day
- Wear it with pride knowing you are helping make a difference
All proceeds go directly to the hospice, helping provide vital support to patients and families. Your ongoing support is a gift to local families.
